Hello everyone, today I present to you not just any F4 Phantom, but one decked out with a RainWorld Livery, and enhanced aircraft specs.

RainWorld is easily one of my favorite games and/or fandoms other than SimplePlanes, it has an incredible amount of lore and backstory, along with an unfathomable amount of in-game detail that can be barely noticeable, but upon seeing it, really makes you think the game is alive. In RainWorld, you play as a nomadic Slugcat creature, and find yourself separated from your family in a massive flood. Alone and lost in a world chock-full of deadly predators, mysterious landscape, and unforgiving harsh environments, your only goal is to survive. RainWorld is an extremely hard game for newcomers, and it takes skill to play. But once you’re familiar with the game, it becomes an incredible experience filled with adventure, treachery, and mystery.

Unfortunately, RainWorld is a criminally underrated game, and most game critics fail to realize how in depth the game really is. Most only go over the bare basics, and say that it’s “too hard to play” or some other bs. Like bish that’s the damn point.

Regardless, along with creating multiple creatures from the game, I’ve immortalized my love for the game with this creation here. Do note that I didn’t make the shell of the Phantom itself, it was made by someone else. I only added the livery and other enhancements. The successor system also doesn’t show who the OP is, as it is nonexistent. Either the OP deleted the original F4, or the user themselves is terminated. Either way, if by some strange means they happen to be reading this, I adore your F4 Phantom. It’s amazingly low part-count is great for how nice it looks, it’s the same F4 I used on my CL-1201 Flying Aircraft Carrier.

Image Gallery:

Featured on the livery are Slugcat, Iterator NSH or “No Significant Harassment” who is arguably one of the most important Iterators in the game’s lore, along with multiple Karma Symbols and runes, the most apparent being the Karma 10 symbol, a Cross, as if to “cross out” those who have ascended from our realm. (not in any way a reference to the game Crossout that I also play lol)

Anyway, without further ado;

Controls:

“Normal” aircraft controls, AG-1 activates Thrust Vectoring, and AG-8 disables Canards. There is a “weapon” labeled Smoke in the Weapons Panel, fire this and you’ll get wing trails. Because why the hell not.

Armaments:

The Weaponry of this craft is reputable to say the least. I wanted to “mimic” the chaos of RainWorld through the weapons of this F4, and there’s a lot of chaos in RainWorld. The primary weapon of this craft is “DeathRain”, a pod mounted on top of the Phantom that releases small, but immensely fast and agile micro bursts of plasma that violently explode upon impacting a target. The Death Rains in RainWorld are what give the game its name; at the start of each day, you have a timer that counts down until the end of the cycle, usually about 10-20 minutes maximum. At the end of the timer, the cycle isn’t technically over, rather, if you aren’t quick to react, your life will be what is very rapidly and violently over; Soon after the timer ends, it will start to rain. This is no ordinary rain however, the means as to how this rain occurs I shan’t mention, due to spoiler reasons, but to describe the rain:

Imagine it starts to rain, and instead of the usual pea-sized raindrops that fall from the sky, massive 40mm. Grenade sized raindrops fall instead. Now imagine these massive raindrops falling from the sky at roughly Mach 5-7. Hundreds and hundreds of times every second within a square foot of space wherever there isn’t study cover above. The sky is roaring with the deafening sound of billions of raindrops creating literal sonic booms as they pummel the ground, and anything unfortunate enough to be caught in it. Every underground facility immediately starts flooding at terrifying speeds, every object above ground that isn’t strong enough is flattened almost immediately.

To put that into an image, here’s a GIF from the game itself:

Of course, Slugcat was pulverized immediately afterwards.

Additionally, the F4 Phantom also has High Frequency Pulses, or HF-Pulses as they are abbreviated in the weapons panel. These are a nod to the Iterators of RainWorld, with their cities of immense proportions built on top. These massive superstructures are capable of immense power, and they output said power in the form of electrical storms, filled to the brim with intense lightning, said to be green due to the copper wiring of the electronics in said Iterators. A lightning bolt is in short, a “High Frequency Pulse” of electricity, striking the ground several times in rapid succession before dissipating. So you could say these weapons are to imitate this.

To add even further to the F4’s armaments, it has MMT Flare Pods with which to counterattack Missiles, and other tracking weaponry. Plus, the immense speed of this F4 Phantom can sometimes even outrun missiles at high enough altitudes, getting upwards to speeds of over 3,000mph. Thanks to the immense power and acceleration of state-of-the-art Plasma Engines, this F4 Phantom can accelerate faster than a Drag Racer, and fly faster than the SR-71. To help the pilots handle these extreme speeds, which undoubtedly, cause high G-Forces as well, the aircraft is equipped with an MFD, or Magnetic Field Disruptor. This device helps the aircraft gain immense speeds, by reducing G-Forces on not only the airframe by about 40-60%, but the pilot as well, which means they can comfortably take upwards of 18+ G’s for extended periods of time. It also makes the aircraft somewhat lighter, which promotes even more high speed possibilities. This technology is also seen in my SeaDragon, the HellFox, and most famously, the TR-3B, which goes to show how useful it is!

Seeing that PyrhPan is a conglomeration of the entire Fandomverse’s non-obsolete military, this F4 Phantom shall make a great addition to our AirForce, RW needed an Airforce branch after all.

Have Fun, and ascend you beautiful survivors!
